"He's not in Jurassic World 2 for the same reason that any other actor would be excluded from a movie. Unless we can find a genuine, organic way to make it not seem like he's in it because he was a great character in a previous film," he explained.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom will be released in UK cinemas on June 8, 2018 and US cinemas on June 22, 2018.
